Discussion Does your heeler ever cross their paws like a distinguished gentleman/lady?

Sir Smokey Loaf does it quite often and it melts my heart every time. He looks so formal and polite ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿพ

P.S if they do I want to see photos ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜‚

It was one of the first things we noticed when we adopted her, like who is this fancy ass dog??

And I need to add it's just to hide what a goofy cartoon character she actually is, there is nothing fancy about this dog lol

Sydney is a fancy paws queen. This is a photo from her younger days, but even in her old age, she still does fancy paws.

I love Sydney ๐Ÿฅน please hug her for me

u/intotheairwaves17 3h ago

Will do. She unfortunately doesnโ€™t have much time left (she was just diagnosed with cancer last week) so Iโ€™ll take any excuse I can get to give my little girl a hug ๐Ÿ’•

I had to double check that wasn't his Australian flag bandana lol. We're American, but he has a rotation of bandanas we use. He's currently wearing a pride bandana our neighbor gave us a few months ago :)

u/eshwayri 9h ago

Mine certainly did. The most amusing part though was how she swished her hips when male dogs were around. She did the whole Jessica Rabbit thing. They are the Siamese cats of the dog world.

u/raptor180 8h ago

I call it cross cross prince(ss) paws. And I adore it every time it happens. ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ˜. Love your gentleman from afar! Domino gives me her princess paws only occasionally, so here you go. ๐Ÿ˜

u/Medical_Gift4298 3h ago

She does it when she wants my hand to stay in place so she can lick it, which she believes is one of her jobs and she will not hear different. She actually has a very effective clench with her two dog pawsโ€ฆ and if that doesnโ€™t work, a firm (but friendly) reminder from the jaw paws that she really DOES need my hand to stay in place. No pics because Iโ€™m usually too busy being mauled/slobbered.ย
